Oct 7, 2006 Orange amber yellow coloured beer, with an average white head, and some carbonation. Sour fruity yeasty aroma, with some wooden hints. Nice body, sour touches, balanced. Finish is again sour, ending rather dry. This is a good old gueuze!

Oct 6, 2006 Vintage 2000, opened on the day I officially finished graduate school. Brewed at the beginning of my college experience and consumed at the end of my schooling. Pours a brilliant effervescent straw gold with a voluminous off-white head. Aroma is tart and sour, with notes of cherries and grapes. Flavor is tart and acidic, but much more refined than younger gueuzes I have drank. Instead of harsh tones, they’re subdued and balanced. Mustiness and ripe fruit abound, with some cheese and lemon coming through. All the flavors, while distinct and complex in their own right, mesh beautifully with one another. Just fantastic all around; a truly memorable beer.

Oct 1, 2006 1999 Vintage. Well-hazed golden/amber under fully-diminishing white. Acidic, grapey, winish aroma. Flavor finds a fruity lift after a sour start. Thin, dry body. Highly drinkable. (3.6 is an excellent rating from me for a gueuze.)

Sep 17, 2006 Bottle dated 01/28/03 This beer pours a cloudy orange and slightly yellowy color with a thin white head with fluffy lacing. The aroma is super duper funky with leather, banana and barnyard. Hints of wood and acidity dance in my head. Holy puckering assraming christ...funk-o-ramic! Lemony, grassy, cheesy, pearish, acidic, FUNKY CHEESE, with a hint of cardboard toward the finish. Cheese cheese cheese...!!!!! Not that i have anything against cheese. Dry finish, tart!!! Que fantastico. Prickling carbonation hints of hay and plums.
